we're talking about blizzard here. look at the sexual dimorphism of the other races

The sexual dimorphism is actually less bad than the details make it appear. Hip width to height, even the Draenei actually match. It's just the swayback of the females and the stupid barrel chest of the males that make it look super out of place.

No it's not. In fact, the Blue Dragonflight as a group doesn't exist anymore. Kalec might align himself with Jaina and the Alliance, but the rest of the Blue dragons are off doing their own thing. It was well established in the Jaina novel that after Deathwing's defeat and the Aspects no longer being 'aspects', they'd lot purpose and been going off on their own.

"Let's see. There are monkeys that evolved into men and monkeys that didn't. Just as well, there are men that remained men and men that evolved into something else. Do you really think humans are the ultimate form of evolution? How arrogant."
--Kakurine, Evil Zone for PS1

SWToR, the Star Wars MMO is a great example of evolution. Try to compare storylines and aesthetics to older books and movies and you will notice how much it has been revamped and improved. Nostalgia factor is not necessarily satisfied by sticking to tradition.

SWToR is hardly the reference one should use for "knocking one outta the MMO park" in any capacity. And there is a difference between "growing" the narrative and saying "screw everything old! Watch my new hotness!" and forgetting everything that made a story good in the first place. Lets say I write a new LotR book all about how the Shire is invaded by Alien Bug monsters from Space and the denizens of Middle Earth have to develop cybernetics and FTL drives to fight back. Now I may very well write the best damn "alien bug monster vs Cyborg elf" book in the history of ever, a cultural document as important to the future of humanity as the Magna Carta, but it would be a horrible LotR book no matter how big I put that name on the cover.
That's what Lucas did, and that's what the lore purists are afraid of happening to Warcraft.

If Ogres and some other races are chosen over Ethereals, I'll crash my head into the keyboard and become a sad God of Death.

You don't want a sad God of Death. You will learn that my thousand faces can make thousand frownies and pouties and you will relent!

Seriously!

What isn't cool about..

That? D:

I wouldn't want ethereals as they don't have enough customization. They're just ghosts wrapped in bandages with a rose tint. The only thing that would differentiate one from another is the gear they're wearing. With Ethereals everybody would look the same which is uber lame. I would rather want Ogre's, Arrakoa or Naga as a race then Ethereals. These race would have much more customizable features. Take Naga for example with their mutatuion stuff an d Ogres with their two headed versions and so on. I Especially would want Ogres, they're awesome and need more love I can't wait to see their new model. Look at Cho'gals model it looks amazing. WTB OGRES please. Heres my money blizz Lok'thar Ogar For The Horde!! I don't play wow anymore but If they would implement Ogres I would play this game nonstop and never quit again. I stopped since that joke called MoP >.> all the people who wouldn't want Ogres as a playable race are mostly Alliance obviously....

Infracted. Please, don't necro old threads. If it's a subject you like, you can refresh it in a newer (or even new) thread.

Not a huge fan of the Ogre models in WoW, however if they were to make them a playable race it's safe to assume they would be much more detailed and finely tuned than current mob Ogre models.

I dunno though, nothing about Ogres really says *yes I want to play one* I wouldn't have anything against them as a playable race though as I know many folks want them. I just don't think it's a race I would play personally.
